THE BALLAD CONCERT.
The entertainment given in City Hall
Saturday afternoon drew large and well
pleased audience. As usual about every
number was encored. Miss Couthoui's
selections were not exactly what many would
have preferred but they were admirably
rendered. Dobson showed himself com
plete master of the banjo. Many Of his
effects were as wonderful as those produced
on the trombone by Mr.. Inness. His take
off of the old fashioned banjo playing was
excellent The Cecilia Quartette proved,
what we have always said, that it is absurd
to import female quartettes when we have
one in this city so far superior. Mrs. Fell
